Does anyone know where to find translucent paint for plastic articles? I want to see through it when dry.?

Question

Some time ago there was a fad for painting boxes and containers for jelly beans and candies for kids. I think the paint has improved, but I'm not certain what to search for.

Answer 1

check either AC Moore or Michael's, or the craft section of any store, there are little kid kits for stained "glass" (plastic). It's see-through when it dries, it could work?

Answer 2

I use Tamiya's clear plastic paints for painting windscreens and automobile lights on my models.

It is translucent and comes in several colors (Red, Orange, Green, Yellow, & Blue)
